Phoenix Palladium is bringing the joy of storytelling and reading to the forefront with Lock The Box, a large-scale experiential book fair designed to bring together readers, families and literary enthusiasts.
Having started on 6th March, the event is currently running at The Courtyard and will continue until 15th March, transforming the space into a lively literary destination. The fair features nearly 1,00,000 books across genres. From contemporary fiction and thrillers to classics, children’s literature and coffee table books, visitors can explore an expansive collection that encourages discovery and leisurely browsing.
At the heart of the event is the much-loved “Lock The Box” challenge, where readers purchase a box and fill it with as many books as possible — as long as the lid closes flat — turning book shopping into a playful treasure hunt.

- Odysseus Box – ₹1,199
Approx. 8–10 books - Perseus Box – ₹1,999

Adding to the excitement, the event will feature a special author interaction with Aisha Sharma on 14th March at 6:00 PM, offering visitors the opportunity to hear directly from the writer and engage with her creative journey.
Visitors can also bring along their pre-loved books to sell at the event, creating a lively community exchange that encourages reading, sharing and rediscovering stories.
Whether you’re an avid reader, a casual book browser, or introducing young readers to the magic of books, Lock The Box at Phoenix Palladium promises a meaningful literary celebration of stories, voices and community.
